Certain standard costs are related to closing the sale of a house. Buyers and sellers almost always split these costs, as specified in the real estate sales contract.
As indicated below, many of the buyer's closing costs are related to the costs of getting the mortgage loan. Since Bob Rutledge Mortgage has extensive experience with closings and mortgages, we can help you understand your closing costs.
Buyers will get a "Loan Estimate" of closing costs around the time the loan application is submitted to the lender. We base this closing cost estimate on our extensive past experience. It's important to note that while our LEs are very accurate, we can't always estimate closing costs to the penny. We will be glad to review the "Loan Estimate," answering questions and pointing out costs that can change slightly at the closing table.
We've provided a general list of these costs below, but we will provide you a specific list of closing costs, with amounts, very soon after you have completed your application. At Bob Rutledge Mortgage, we don't believe in surprises, so if your costs change, we'll be sure to let you know immediately.
